put random items into other people's shopping baskets when they aren't looking

someone – a certain snowleopardy, marmalade clad someone – had the sense to debunk this as my most cheered goal!
I’m sure it’s worthwhile it its own small frivolous way, and I have had fun thinking about it, and doing it on at least three occasions, but is this honestly the best use to which you think I can put the rest of my life?
I’ve wanted to take it off the list for a while now, ever since I went on a goal culling mission and resolved to keep my list to under thirty. I’ve never been much of a multi-tasker, as Daichi kindly pointed out to me last night – he wanted me to explain the finer points of the argument in favour of covert syntax using island constraint examples in Japanese, whereas I just wanted to get the noodles stirfried and the vegetables out of the oven without any major charcoaling incidents, so I told him to shut up and wait – and there’s no possible way I can actively work towards realising more than 30 long term projects at a time. That’s just absurd.
Still, I felt I couldn’t take it off while it still, inconceivably, held top spot in the Mad’s most cheered hit parade. I wanted to give you guys a chance to, you know, redeem yourselves. Snowleopard has redeemed you. Three cheers for snowleopard! It’s going off the list.

Woman in supermarket, ambles along aimlessly. This is her first mistake. I immediately single her out as an easy target and move in for the kill. I pass her in the seaweed aisle. From my hand falls a package of pickling spices. Small, inoffensive and lightweight enough not to make a sound as it strikes the other items (milk, white bread and an obscene amount of instant ramen) in her basket.

Obviously I’m hoping to branch out into more adventurous items in the future, but I thought I’d best keep things simple whilst I worked on my technique.

Item deposit itself succesful, however I didn’t manage to time my trip to the check-out well enough to coincide with hers, thus didn’t see her reaction as item went through the scanner.

Must do better next time.

to be a popular goal. I should probably go about implementing it. Trouble is, I am the only foreigner in a town of 3700, thus my conspicuosity factor is very high. Don’t want to get put in the village stocks if caught. Need to go to a big city, maybe next time I’m in Sapporo? Or perhaps at the airport before the China trip, in the Omiyage section? Or, better still, wear fancy dress? If I just went around doing this in a Doraemon suit, I’d blend right in. Nobody would pay a blind bit of notice. Ah Doraemon. I wish I was Doraemon…
